What is the Bowen Technique?

The Bowen Technique is a complementary therapy that works over muscles, fascia, ligaments, tendons, nerves and the skeleton to accelerate healing, realign and balance the body. It has an excellent track record in helping relieve many symptoms. Results can be remarkable, even from the first session.

How does it work?

Gentle, powerful moves send messages deep into the body, penetrating to a cellular level to realign and balance the body. Pauses allow the body time to respond to the work, begin the healing process and re-orient to a previously healthy state. Bowen moves treat the body as a whole or can target a specific problem. A Bowen treatment will enhance and complement other medical treatments, and conditions other than those being treated are often resolved, whether structural, physiological or emotional.

What’s it like?

Each Bowen therapy session varies according to the particular problems of the client. By focusing on the lower and mid back and legs, the upper back, shoulders and the neck, a sense of wellbeing can be achieved, helping relaxation, aiding sleep – helping to remove everyday stress and anxiety that can make us feel under-par or prevent us functioning at our optimum. The Bowen moves are light and very precise. Its effects go on working for days following treatment and can be long lasting. For this reason it is better to wait a week either side of having other manual therapy. The moves may be given through light clothing or on the skin and can assist recovery from many conditions from traumatic injury to chronic illness, depending on each individual’s capacity to heal. It is considered suitable for everyone from pregnant women to new-born babies, the frail and the elderly. People are amazed at the sensations and results.
